One of North Georgia's most popular tourist destinations is the Alpine Village of Helen. The history of the area is long and diverse. The ancient Mississippians who inhabited these lands gave way to the Cherokee Nation, who settled these rich valleys in the sixteenth century. However, European settlers desired the fertile farmlands and eventually removed the Cherokees. The local economy became one of agriculture and timber harvesting. Modern Helen was conceived in the 1960's as a way of improving business in the area. Since that time, Helen has remained a center for shopping, dining, relaxing, hiking and family-style entertainment. You can spend hour after hour in it's quaint and unique shops. Or you can enjoy a Bavarian style feast of Bratwurst and sauerkraut. A horse-drawn carriage rides through town could top off a great meal. And best of all, it's only a fifteen minute ride from Taylor's Treehouse! Helen can be very busy at certain times of the year, particularly during Oktoberfest. Wouldn't it be nice to escape to your private, 24 acre mountain retreat for a relaxing sunset dip in the hot tub? As you watch the stars come out, you'll really appreciate the solitude of the mountains! Enjoy the photos of Helen Georgia. |
